It will soon be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues. The content should not be mirrored or otherwise reused until the issue has been resolved.

If substantial content is duplicated, unless evidence is provided to the contrary (e.g. evidence of permission to use this content under terms consistent with the Wikimedia Terms of Use or public domain status; see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials), editors will assume that this text is a copyright violation, and will soon delete the copy. Before removing this notice, you should:

  • Check if CorenSearchBot is in error: If so, simply note so on this article's discussion page.
  • Replace the copyrighted text with your own work. Note that simply modified or rephrased text is still an infringement—to remove the copyrighted contents you will need to completely remove them and then write totally new text to replace it.
  • If you hold the copyright to this text and permit its use under the terms consistent with Misplaced Pages's policies, please see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions on how to verify the licensing.
  • Replace the copyrighted content with a wikified reference.
  • Check whether it is reasonable to revert to one of the previous versions of the article
  • Remove the copyrighted content if it is not critical to the article.

Martin Everardus Reyners (born 1950), Auckland, New Zealand FRSNZ. He is a Principal Scientist at GNS Science, Lower Hutt, has established an international reputation in subduction zone studies.

His research has involved numerous dense deployments of portable seismographs over New Zealand's two subduction zones, often in collaboration with overseas institutes. The earthquake data recorded have enabled three-dimensional tomographic imaging of the structure of the colliding plates (the earthquake-wave equivalent of a medical CAT scan). This work has provided insight into how plate tectonics works in New Zealand, and has answered long-standing tectonic questions. These include why the Taupo Volcanic Zone is the most frequently active and productive silicic volcanic system on Earth, and why volcanism terminates at Mt Ruapehu, rather than continuing southward in concert with the subducted Pacific plate. His recent work investigates why the plates lock together on certain portions of the North Island subduction zone, leading to a build up of strain which will eventually be released in a large earthquake. This innovative research is wide-ranging, bringing together seismology, GPS geodesy, geological structure, and geochemistry.

The quality of his research has been acknowledged by his peers through the Hochstetter Lectureship and New Zealand Geophysics Prize (twice), and numerous invitations to give lectures.
